If anyone has doubts about the beauty of precision engineering then look no further than a My Mechanics video. Amazing attention to detail along with exacting standards where nearly good enough is not acceptable to him; only as close to perfection as possible will do. And then to top it off a beautifully shot and edited video for us all to enjoy. Really well done Sir!

The museum can be a tool to educate how it’s worth fixing and restoring something then just buying new all together. Including the beauty of the process and besides healing the object you can also heal yourself (and in turn the planet).

Nevermind the thing working properly. The simple fact that there were no parts left after the final assembly is enough to amaze me! Very cool.

Very good video. Could be used as an instructional. I used to rebuild pneumatic air tools for a Military Depot. Rebuilt precision grinders, impact wrenches, air ratchets, and air hammers. Good point to remember, when assembling, always use pneumatic tool oil on the parts, even on the rotary vanes. Also for the first few runs, always drop three to four drops of pneumatic tool oil in the air connector at first operation after rebuild. Again, great job.

I'm pretty sure that's one of the cleanest rebuilds I've ever seen. Using the lathe to sand and polish, then using the olive oil to add the beautiful tone, and then hand fabricating the nozzle and then using that technique with the sand to bend it....

This looks like a good quality die grinder. I didn't see any markings whatsoever on it, other than the air fitting. I find that very surprising.

You are quite talented young man. Thank you for sharing!

My jaw is dropped with the attention to detail and quality of workmanship. Few questions: 1. How in the world do you keep track of parts for proper reassembly? What an incredible parts count! There were a million spacers, shims and bits & pieces. 2. How did you clean the air filter? I don't think that was shown. 3. What is the liquid in the washing machine?

You REALLY are the master of dis-assembly and the lathe. "I don't like this piece so I will make a new one" What a talent. Keep the vids coming! !! !!!
